Hi @Jill, welcome to Taper Community!
When you get a chance, can you create a Drug History Signature for yourself so we can get an overview of your history? You can do this in Settings, which is at the bottom of the left sidebar underneath your profile name & picture. Make sure to "Save" it when you're done. It will then appear at the bottom of all your posts. See mine as an example. Thanks so much!
We recommend Hyperbolic tapering here at Taper Community - monthly reductions of no more than 10% of the previous month's dose. The reductions will therefore get smaller and smaller as time goes on. The greatest changes in receptor occupancy happen at very low doses, so tapering this way is safer and easier on the brain.
If you go to the Tapering Protocols, Symptoms & Self-Care, and I Need Support sections of the forum and click on the Guides tab, you'll find lots of helpful advice and tips. The Resources section also has lots of helpful information.
We look forward to supporting you on your tapering and healing journey!
